Stack ports  
There are two stack ports on the front panel. One is IN and the other is OUT. When  
stacked, the IN port should connect to the other switchs OUT port and the OUT port  
should connect to other switchs IN out. You can just use normal Cat 5 or better cable with  
RJ-45 connector to stack. Only straight-through UTP/STP cable can be used. There is no  
Duplex Mode issue and the maximum distance between first and last switch is 800m.  
SWITCH ID  
Each switch on a stack must have a unique switch ID. There are eight degrees (0~7) in  
the rotary switch. The switch with least switch ID will become master switch and the  
others become slave. If master switch is fail or disconnected to the switch by stack port,  
the switch with least switch ID will become master.  
Every device in the management stack should have a unique Switch ID. In the  
meanwhile, a Switch IDwhich has been using by a device, reused by another, the  
management stack will fail.  
Reset button  
At the middle of front panel, the reset button is designed for reboot the switch without turn  
off and on the power.  
10/100Mbps Ethernet ports  
There are 24 10/100Mbps RJ-45 (copper) ports with one 100Mbps fiber optic slide-in slot.  
The slot is shared with port 1 which means if a fiber module is installed in this slot, the first  
RJ-45 port will be disabled. The following pictures show the available module for this  
slot.

¨
¨
¨
DCE  
9600 (Fix baud rate)  
n (No parity checking)  
8 (8 Data bits)  
1 (1 stop bit)  
None (No flow control)  
You can use a normal RS-232 cable and connect to the console port on the device. After  
the connection, you can run any terminal emulation program (Hyper Terminal, Winterm,  
Telix, and so on) to enter the startup screen of the device.  
Power Receptacle  
For compatibility with electric service in most areas of the world, the switchs power supply  
automatically adjusts to line power in the range 100-240 VAC and 50-60 Hz.  
Plug the female end of the power cord firmly into the receptacle on the rear panel of the  
switch. Plug the other end of the power cord into an electric service outlet then the power  
will be ready.  
Power Notice:  
1.The device is a power-required device, it means, it will not work till it is powered. If your  
networks should active all the time, please consider using UPS (Uninterrupted Power  
Supply) for your device. It will prevent you from network data loss or network downtime.  
2.In some area, installing a surge suppression device may also help to protect your switch  
from being damaged by unregulated surge or current to the Switch or the power  
adapter.  
2.3 Hardware Installation  
This switch can be placed directly on your desktop, or mounted in a rack. If you install the  
device in a normal-standalone standard, the switch is an managed Switch, and users can  
immediately use most of the features simply by attaching the cables and turning the  
power on. In this case, any managerial proceedings are effective only in the range of the  
switch. After management stacking, you can enjoy the powerful management functions  
and control the whole system.  
Desktop Installation  
For desktop installation, the switch needs to put on a clean, flat desk or table close to a  
power outlet. Plug in all network cables and the power cord, then the system is ready.

Installing Network Cables  
Station Connections -  
Refer to the wiring statement of the previous section; connect each station with correct  
type of cables.  
Switch-to-Switch Connections –  
In making a switch-to-switch connection, use Gigabit ports to connect another switch or  
backbone is strongly recommended. The Gigabit ports provide the fat pipe to the server or  
backbone connectivity for boosting the total system performance. Refer to the wiring  
statement of the previous section; connect each station to the switch with correct type of  
cables.  
Module Installation  
The two slide-in slots on the rear panel are purposed for installing optional modules. They  
can be used as a network backbone or connect to a server. Follow the steps as described  
to install a module:  
1.  
2.  
Power off the switch.

4.  
Push the module gently into the slot along the slide tracks.  
Ensuring that it firmly engages with the connector then tighten the screws to secure  
the module.  
CAUTION: The slide-in slots are not hot swappable, power off the switch before installing  
modules.  
2.4 Stack Installation  
There are two RJ-45 ports on the front panel for proprietary management stack. Only  
straight-through UTP/STP cable can be used.  
Plug one end of the cable in the INport and the other end to the OUTport of next  
device. Repeat the step for every device in the stack cluster, then ending at last switch.  
NOTE:Before management stacking, be sure of every device uses a unique SWITCH  
ID, or the management stack will not work. The switch with least SWITCH ID  
will become Master. Only Master switchs management interface (console,  
telnet, web and SNMP) is accessible.  
Please find the following picture for sample connection. Please note the stack port is for  
management only. For data packets to be transmitted between switches, you will still  
need to connect their network ports.

4.8 SNMP  
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a communication protocol for managing  
devices on a network. It is commonly used for network administrators to communicate  
with multiple devices (hub, switch, router ……) for configuring and monitoring while  
convenient for troubleshooting but no miscellaneous platform consideration.  
The built-in SNMP is an agent, which watches the status of it self. The Network  
Management Station (A computer attached to network with SNMP management program  
well installed) can be used to access it.  
Community  
A valid entry of Community String and IP Address is for authentication to login to the  
SNMP agent for configuration. Moreover, the community capacity can up to 3 sets and  
only by the way of specified IP address here will be allowed to access the agent. One  
entry consist of IP address 0.0.0.0will allow the ones who know the community string to  
access the agent (with Read-Only access right) without limitation.  
To Add a community

4.9 VLAN  
The VLAN is a group of ports that may spread around the network but communicate as  
though they belong to one subnet. By using VLAN, all ports can be reorganized into  
separate broadcast domains for security reasons and reduce bandwidth occupation  
instead of using routers to divide whole network into subnets. It produces cleaner network  
environment by reducing broadcast traffic and simplify network management by allowing  
you to move devices to another VLAN without changing physical connections. The  
switch support 2 VLAN type: 802.1Q VLAN and Port Group VLAN.  
802.1Q VLAN:  
Before enabling 802.1Q VLAN, pay attention to:  
w

NOTE:  
1.  
2.  
All the ports are default as members of VLAN 1 and assigned PVID 1.  
Though you can configure a VLAN group with VLAN ID from 1 to 4094, the  
supported PVID on this switch is only from 1 to 255.  
3.  
4.  
The port which was assigned a PVID and the PVID is equal to VLAN ID, removing  
the port will not allow until you change it.  
Automatically, a port will join the VLAN of its PVID, and if the VLAN does not exist,  
system will create it.  
To Enable/Disable Ingress Filtering  
When one packet comes in from Port X to VLAN Y, but Port X is not a member of VLAN Y:  
Ingress Filter Enabled - The filter checks the packet and detects Port X does not  
belong to the VLAN Y, the Ingress Filter discards the  
packet.  
Ingress Filter Disabled - All the packets destined to VLAN Y are all unobstructed.  
Click the Ingress Filteringcolumn of a port and select Enableto activate Ingress Filter.  
Port Group VLAN  
The Port Group VLAN (Port-based VLAN) is concentrate on definite ports. The packets  
forwarding policies are based on destination MAC addresses or related ports by voluntary  
learning relationship of MAC addresses and its related ports.

Click All Together button then all the ports of the switch will be added to VLAN  
group 1.  
- All Independent  
Click All Independent button then all the ports will be divided into separated  
subnets (totally 18 subnets).  
Every port can belong to different Port Group VLANs simultaneously without limitation.  
4.10 IGMP Snooping  
Multicasting is widely used to support multi-media applications such as video  
conferencing. The multicasting simply broadcasts its services to the group of a network  
instead of establishing connections separately with every host that subscribed the  
services. With no Multicast Filtering-aware switches, a multicast server may floods  
broadcast-data overall the broadcast domain and wastes a lot of bandwidth.  
The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) snooping uses the protocol to make  
switches join/leave multicast group and interacts switches to optimize the network  
performance by monitoring the IGMP packets and forward to the ports containing  
multicast hosts or switches. This will efficiently reduce the multicast traffic rather than  
flooding overall network. IGMP snooping is more and more important especially when the  
multi-media demand is booming.  
NOTE: As IGMP Snooping only operates under 802.1Q VLAN mode, please change  
VLAN mode from Port Group VLAN to 802.1Q VLAN before enabling IGMP  
Snooping.  
4.11 Port Aggregation  
Port Aggregation (Port Trunk) is used to increase the bandwidth of a switch-to-switch  
connection and backup. This switch provides 7 port aggregation groups, which consist of  
4 ports and create bandwidth up to 800Mbps per group (the group 6 consists of 2 slide-in  
slots and creates bandwidth up to 4Gbps) at full duplex mode. Check the box of  
Aggregation Group in the Status Enable column and press Applythen the selected  
Aggregation Group is activated.

w
w
The ports at both ends of a Port Aggregation connection must be configured as  
Aggregation Ports.  
The ports at both ends of a Port Aggregation connection must have the same port  
properties, including Speed, Duplex mode.  
All the ports of a Port Aggregation must be treated as an integer when added  
to/deleted from a VLAN.  
Spanning Tree Algorithm (STA) treats all the ports of a Port Aggregation as an  
integer.  
Before connecting cables between switches, enable the Pot Aggregation to avoid  
looping.  
Before disabling Port Aggregation, remove the connecting cables between switches  
to avoid looping.  
Both two slide-in slots should use the identical modules (two coppers/two fibers)  
otherwise the Port Aggregation connection is invalid.  
4.12 STA  
The Spanning Tree Algorithm (STA) outlined in IEEE 802.1D can avoid network looping  
but coexist with linking backup. This feature permits STA-aware switches interact with  
each other. This can ensure only one route exists between any two devices on the  
network. If looping is detected (maybe implements on purpose for linking backup), looping  
ports will be blocked to discard additional route. If one using route fails, this Spanning  
Tree Algorithm automatically releases the blocking port and establishes connection with  
other devices.  
Since a STA network has been established, all devices listen for Hello BPDUs (Bridge  
Protocol Data Units) sent from the Root Bridge. After the Max Age maximum time is up,  
the device supposes that the route to the Root Bridge is down. The devices initiate  
negotiations with each other to reconfigure the network for a valid topology.

Parameter  
Description  
STA State  
Shows if STA is enabled on the switch and participated  
an STA compliant network.  
Designated Root  
Bridged ID  
The unique Bridge Identifier of the Bridge recorded as  
the Root in the Configuration BPDUs transmitted by the  
Designated Bridge for the segment to which the port is  
attached.  
The MAC address used by this bridge when it must be  
referred to in a unique fashion. It is recommended that  
this be the numerically smallest MAC address of all ports  
that belong to this bridge. However it is only required to  
be unique.  
Root Port  
The port number of the port which offers the lowest cost  
path from this bridge to the root bridge.  
Max Age (6~40 sec)  
The maximum age of Spanning Tree Protocol  
information learned from the network on any port before  
it is discarded, in units of a second. This is the actual  
value that this bridge is currently using.  
Hello Time (1~10 sec)  
The amount of time between the transmission of  
Configuration bridge PDUs by this node on any port  
when it is the root of the spanning tree or trying to  
become so, in units of a second. This is the actual value  
that this bridge is currently using.  
Hold Time  
This time value determines the interval length during  
which no more than two Configuration bridge PDUs shall  
be transmitted by this node, in units of a second.

Forward Delay (4~30 sec)  
This time value, measured in units of a second, controls  
how fast a port changes its spanning state when moving  
towards the Forwarding state. The value determines  
how long the port stays in each of the Listening and  
Learning states, which precede the Forwarding state.  
This value is also used, when a topology change has  
been detected and is underway, to age all dynamic  
entries in the Forwarding Database.  
Root Path Cost  
The cost of the path to the root device as seen from this  
bridge.  
Configuration Changes  
The total number of topology changes detected by this  
bridge since the management entity was last reset or

Priority (1~65535)  
Priority is a decisive key for selecting root device, root  
port, and designated port. The smaller number, the higher  
priority. The device with the highest priority becomes the  
STA root device. However, if all devices have the same  
priority, the device with the lowest MAC address will  
become the root device  
Hello Time (1~10sec)  
The amount of time between the transmission of  
Configuration bridge PDUs by this node on any port when  
it is the root of the spanning tree or trying to become so, in  
units of a second. This is the actual value that this bridge  
is currently using  
Maximum Age (6~40sec)  
Forward Delay (4~30sec)  
The maximum age of Spanning Tree Protocol information  
learned from the network on any port before it is  
discarded, in units of a second. This is the actual value  
that this bridge is currently using  
This time value, measured in units of a second, controls  
how fast a port changes its spanning state when moving  
towards the Forwarding state. The value determines how  
long the port stays in each of the Listening and Learning

states, which precede the Forwarding state. This value is  
also used, when a topology change has been detected  
and is underway, to age all dynamic entries in the  
Forwarding Database.

Description  
Port number of the port  
Priority  
The value of the priority field which is contained in the first  
(in network byte order) octet of the (2 octet long) Port ID.  
Path Cost  
The contribution of this port to the path cost of paths  
towards the spanning tree root, which include this port.  
802.1D-1990 recommends that the default value of this  
parameter be in inverse proportion to the speed of the  
attached LAN.  
Fast Forward  
The device omits from the 4 steps  
(Blocking-Listening-Learning-Forwarding) to 3 steps  
(Blocking-Listening-Forwarding) for speeding up specified  
port to be running when STA topology has been changed.  
4.13 Priority  
This switch supports IEEE802.1p CoS with 2-level priority. There are 8 traffic classes and  
8 Service Rules in the Priority Map. When one packet carries with priority-tag, which has  
specified a CoS (Class of Service) comes into the switch, the specified CoS tag will  
determine what priority (Low/High) will it get according to the Priority Map in the switch.  
The available Service Rules are:

4.15 Mirror  
Port mirror is used to mirror traffic from source port to a target port for analysis. Only 2  
ports can be monitored (mirrored) simultaneously to 1 sniffer port (target port). (Note that  
the target port must be in the same VLAN as the source port).

CHAPTER 5 TROUBESHOOTING  
This chapter contains information to help you solve problems. If WGSW-2403 is not  
functioning properly, make sure the Switch was set up according to instructions in this manual.  
The port is connected but the port LED is not lit  
Solution:  
Check the following items:  
1. The switch and the connected devices power are on or not.  
2. The connecting cable is good and with correct type.  
3. The cable is firmly seated in its connectors in the switch and in the associated  
device.  
4. The connecting device, including any network adapter is well installed and  
functioning.  
Some stations can not talk to other stations located on the other port  
Solution:  
1. Check the VLAN and PVID settings.  
2. The address table may contain older information than of the address table of that  
node. Please power down to refresh the address information.
